An oustanding, sculptural miniature with huge, extra-lustrous crystals on a knob of matrix. The two large crystals are 2.2 and 2.3 cm, the largest intact crystals on any piece in this update and among the largest in the find (perhaps the largest, so far as I know). This is a significant specimen, and displays dramatically. There is one small issing crystal from the top of the piece, not seen from the display face anyhow, and a few small broken tips on the periphery. The major crystals are pristine.
